Greetings:

My pepper garden has produced an enormous abundance. I've dried some
(strung up and dehydrated), but I would like to store more (for later
use as 'poppers', etc.).
Is there any way I can do this without going through all the USDA
regimen of pressure canning, etc?
I've heard that placing the peppers in a jar of vinegar, with a little
salt, would do the trick (or at leas as long as it takes for the next
crop to inundate me) as long as it's refrigerated. Is this valid?

Regards,
Jim

Jim,

Have you tried to freeze them? When the season is bountiful, I wash
and seed my peppers and slice them with the food processor. Then I
pack the rings in zip lock bags and pop them in the freezer. I never
worry about "freezer life", because they go pretty fast. :-)

Good luck

over them. Bring to boiling point and turn off heat. Place peppers in
sterilized jar. Pour hot vinegar over them to within 1/2 inch of top.
Boil caps 10 minutes then place on jars. Tighten lids. Use hot water
bath. No need to refrigerate. They've lasted up to 2 years for me.

Will this work with Sweet Hungarian yellow banana peppers too? I
have a crop of banana peppers coming up and would like to jar them as
I don't have a dehydrator (got to get one of those!). Thanks

Daisy,
My brother pickles his Hungarian sweets in the same brine we use for our
dills. He may or may not seed them but makes a lengthwise slice in the
whole pepper so the brine gets inside the pepper.
FWIW.

You can make the "poppers" and freeze them as is. Reheat in oven.
